The horn beeping when you hit the brakes is most likely the air bag bracket behind center section of the steering wheel. I had the same problem. There are lots of post on how to fix this.

Thanks. I just finished replacing my water pump. Now, I'm in the middle of installing heated seats and I haven't had a chance to do any research.

dghii - Good thinking about the On Board Computer. I should have thought of that.

Tell them not to complain about your steak while they are eating hamburger.

Owning a Porsche is like being married to a beautiful woman. You have to put up with a few "difficulties" from time-to-time but the benefits are outstanding.

To be honest, the cars are not that troublesome and there is a lot of help available from forums like this one. If you are willing to do a few things yourself, and search for used parts you will be fine.

Here are the instructions I'm using to install my seat heaters: Dennis Vogel: Projects - Boxster Heated Seats

Try to finding something like that for a Toyota Camry.

Good luck with your car and I'm glad you had a good first experience on this forum.
